Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

can’t do it all, but when can you afford

Prevention...

47. • “The problem with the Internet startup craze isn’t that too many
people are starting companies; it’s that too many people aren’t
sticking with it. That’s somewhat understandable, because there
are many moments that are filled with despair and agony, when
you have to fire people and cancel things and deal with very
difficult situations. That’s when you find out who you are and what
your values are.
• “So when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously
rich, they’re gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most
rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they
may never know their values or how to keep their newfound wealth
in perspective.” [Fortune, Jan. 24, 2000]
